One day, Will Venable might appreciate his unique view of baseball history, that of a two-time Cy Young winner again feeling his way through a lineup, time and time again, as a pitcher remade.

Another no-hitter. Against the Padres, again.

More than 100 years had passed since someone had doubled up on no-nos on the same team the way Tim Lincecum did twice inside a year.

Maybe, Venable can reflect on that one day. Maybe.

But today is not that day.

Today, Lincecum will again stare down at Venable from atop a mound.

“I came into this league just after him; I’ve faced him I don’t know how many times,” Venable said. “I’m sure I’ll reflect back on my career on guys I’ve had matchups with and he’s a guy I’ve faced as much as anyone.

“Maybe at that time it’s something to think about.”

There will be a lot to think about, too, when that time comes.

Only 32 pitchers have ever thrown more than one no-hitter. Only three other pitchers — Sandy Koufax, Randy Johnson and Roy Halladay — have at least two Cy Young Awards and two no-nos. And only one other pitcher has ever fired two no-hitters at the same team.

In matching the gems that Hall of Famer Addie Joss threw at the Chicago White Sox in 1908 and 1910, Lincecum dismissed a historically impotent offense enduring a historically bad month.

In addition to Lincecum’s no-hitter, the Padres were one-hit twice — both miraculously in wins — en route to a .171 batting average in June, the worst offensive month for a team since 1920. Their overall batting average (.214) and on-base percentage (.273) are also threatening the lowest marks ever posted in this game’s long history.

All that aside, the 30-year-old Lincecum simply made pitches last week at AT&T Park, just as he did last year in San Diego, his diving split-change compensating for an MIA high-90s fastball that made the 5-foot-11 hurler a three-time strikeout king through his first three full seasons in the majors.

“It’s not the same Lincecum, but I think now he knows how to move the ball better than he did a couple years earlier,” Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera said while icing a strained left hamstring that has forced him to the disabled list ahead of today’s reunion. “He’s only 90-91 now, but he throws some good sliders and a good hook for a strike. And his split in the dirt looks like a strike until the late break.
